Thanks @AlW,
Here’s the temporary workaround while I wait a bit longer for what Microsoft decides to do:
- Create a new folder on your computer; name it something like
Deploy
-
Download the Rhino 7 installer and save it in the
Deploy
folder - In the
Deploy
folder, make a folder calledredist
- Download this copy of .NET 4.8 Framework Installer into the
redist
subfolder - Run the Rhino installer.
- Click the Gear icon next to Install Now
- Click
Download files for offline installation
The installer should see the .NET framework there, and skip downloading it. The rest of the packages will be downloaded and ready for deployment.
